you're not providing enough info to get any help. You may have to get on your hands and knees and wiggle the steering wheel back and forth to find any obvious signs of wear. For starters, the sector may be worn and need adjustment or parts replaced, the drag link ends may be worn, the tie rod ends may be worn, the spindles may be worn, the pivot pin for the axle may be worn. You could also need to check toe-in, just to name a few.

If it is the column here's a thread in the Tech section that may help. I replaced the rod ends then bearings and pin in the gear box on my 1641 a few years ago. It made a big difference. https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ead.php?t=4631
